Emily Held, 64 of Chelsea, AL passed away on Aug. 17, 2022 after battling brain cancer for several months. She graduated from Mountain Brook High School and Jacksonville University in Florida, later earning an accounting degree from Birmingham Southern College and working for several years at ADP and more recently in corporate accounting for Jim & Nick’s and Tazikis. Emily was very devoted to her work and her family. She had a lifelong passion for horses and relished the joy and hard work of raising and caring for her quarter horses on her farm in Chelsea. Emily always found time to be present, never asking if she could help but always showing up to lend a hand and generously sharing her time and whatever else was needed. Emily will be sorely missed by the family she leaves behind; parents Jack and Evelyn Held, sisters Betsy Humphries (Mike) and Lee Dunsmore (Rick) and their families. A graveside funeral will be held at Elmwood Cemetery Friday August 19th at 1:00 pm.
If you wish to honor Emily’s memory, in lieu of flowers, please consider a contribution to Glioblastoma Foundation or an animal rescue organization of your choice.
